    High Commissioner Portrait - Day wear

    I was recently asked to submit a portrait for the website of the High Council of Clan Donald Chiefs. This is the one I chose. Show us your favourite THCD daywear pic!

    Those all look great!

    I don't have much in the way of recent photos, especially nice formal-looking ones. Usually when I'm kilted I'm piping at a funeral or wedding somewhere, and I never see any photos. Looks like I'll have to do a photo shoot sometime!

    I would have to go back to around 1980, in my early 20s, to find a nice posed formal Day Dress photo.

    The tartan tie wasn't my choice.

    This is a great shot. I always thought this was a professional model from that period. I don't even mind the tie. It was pretty common in Canada back then.

    Here is my offering from the doorsteps of Dunvegan.
